sms with delay

Hi there, due to the fact that the search option doesn't work with less then 4 characters, i can't search for "sms".
But here's my real problem:
I've flashed different roms into my mda vario, after unlocking it. First the Molski.biz rom, then the last original t-mobile rom, but it was toooo slow, i've imediatly deleted it, en flashed the mr clean rom.
But in all roms i have some delay in recieving sms-messages.
Half the time they appear directly after they were sent by my friends, but sometimes i get them after a few hours. for example: it was sent at 15:00, and i received it at 17:30.
And sometimes i don't get any sms-messages, and after an soft-reset, i get 10 at one time, all delayed.
does anyone know what to do about it? or what causes it?
Regards,
Twan

i sometimes get this too though not often its usually when my phone loses signal and when it comes back into signal it wont recevie txt messages until i soft reset or send another txt out then ill get like 4 all at once lol.
Wizard isnt the best phone for txtin i must say as i send a good 1,000 txts a month and so far its poor.

Sounds like a network issue to me...
The network isn't registering the phone or something similar. For SMS the towers "push" the messages to the phone. Queuing them when they don't detect the phone on the network. If the phone is on the network and not getting the messages until it is reset and forced to re-acquire its signal than it is a network problem.
I've seen this problem on a few networks regardless of phone make and model.

I would agree with the above, its a provider issue not a phone issue.
I have a debate with Orange about 10 years ago about not getting text messeges when I loose and then regain service. I was told that when a text is sent to a phone that is off or lost a signal the message is stored until a set time has passed and then delivery is retried, thus getting all the messages at once. The way 'around' this is the disconnect the phone from the network and re-connect. This forces a scan of the message queues and again you will get all messages in one go.
I would assume going in to Flight Mode and back will do the same thing as a soft boot, but I have not tested this.

Okay,
so i could suggest it's not quitte an rom- or wizzard-issue, but a network-issue.
I also think going to flightmode and back will solve the problem. So we will hear from you if that's a solution?
I'm busy reflashing a new rom into my wizzard.

I would hope that as you seeing the problem that you could test this. I get all my texts on time (luckely) so I can't help you I am afraid, I can just share my thoughts.
Let us know how you get on.

I've tried, but now there's nobody who has sent me an sms
ghehe, i'll wait....
but i do think it will work.
i'll keep you posted

This is happening to me all of a sudden and its not a network issue. I have 4 phones on my account and i texted between all of them and only my phone won't get the messages UNLESS I reboot my phone or use smartskey to close a window.
Here is the strange part, when a text message is sent to my phone, the screen turns on, but doesn't show the message pop.
Is smartskey blocking it?
Also, closing a window by clicking on the X also kicks the message to come through

Incoming MMS not working , how to fix ?

Been having this problem since day one with Cyanogen.
Invariably the incoming picture mail ceases to function.
Ive gotten it to work when its acted up by resetting fixing permissions , unchecking then re checking "auto retrieve mms" , and selecting "TMOBILE" under provider listing to re register with network.
Since most of the time I have to ask people to pic mail me its extremely difficult to troubleshoot regularly.
"mms" is too short a term for seach it seems so apologize if this is an old issue.
1. Is there a specific fix to get MMS working as it should ?
2. Is there a way I can test if it works by emailing my phone ([email protected]) with a pic attached ? That never works.
3. If this is ROM specific ,are there any ROMS that dont have any sms/mms issues ?
G1
cyanogen 4.02
default messaging , handcent ,chomp have all given me the same problem...only using handcent currently.

Try sending yourself two mms messages

Tried 3 different.... only 1 came through. grrr

Noone has any ideas ?
Would upgrading my radio do any good ?

I noticed that both you guys are running old roms ...have you considered updating to 1.6 rom ,, I had issues sending mms with handcent when upgraded and I emailed them and they issued an update for 1.6 donut support. works great now

I will be trying this now that theres a one file Cyanogen. I was pessimistic about Hero roms because so many were limited or laggy.

For all I know there could be a wealth of info..but mms wont come up with anything in search.
Worst case scenario you can receive my MMS and Ill send out any you need.

for me if i am on wifi, i can never get mms sent or received. but onc ei turn off wifi and get on 3g it sends and receives fine. i missed a lot of mms because at home i always have my phone on wifi. i only know i miss them because right after an mms is sent, sometimes people sms me and say "did you get that?" and then i am aware they sent an mms.

Installed Cyn 4.1.999999999999999
STILL same issue. Ugh.

I have the same issue and I just switched to that ROM. My problem is real intermittent and in fact mine will somes times not receive regular texts, or the recipaent never gets them, or even sometimes someone will get multiple copies of my text messages all at once and I'll even get a few copies of received text messages on my phone. Just annoying.
Found this though, basically just sending a picture to your own phone.

I live in some crappy 3G coverage, so its always switching between that and edge. Something I've been meaning to try is to force the phone to only use 2G networks and see if that helps.

Did you have this problem before switching to this ROM ?
What ROM were you using prior ?

Yep, same problem. I'd say I'm 99% sure I even had this issue when I was using JF roms. I just came from Cyan 4.0.4 rom and a few of his previous roms before that.
I'm also half temped to unroot it and go back to a factory T-Mobile rom.

As am I.
Its annoying as hell to get "did you get my pic ?" or "what do you think" wondering wth theyre talking about.

Not sure if this will work for you but works for me. Only way I can receive mms from anyone is they have to type something in the subject and something in the message. If they do that I get it everytime. Might want to give it a try.

Will try..
TMo had me pull out battery then re try...it worked....till I got home.
Rep said it may be caused by a bad tower in my area pulling out battery connects me to another tower.
Sounded like BS but seeing that it worked when we tried but failed later on ..perhaps.
Id feel better if I knew this was a problem with or without Root. Im fighting my urge to just go back to stock...hate to lose apps2sd though.

receiving sms problem

Okay so its been a few weeks into my relationship with my Samsung Focus.
I bought it off contract from someone on Kijiji. The problem I seem to be having is that sometimes I don't always receive sms messages. My girlfriend (clearly the one I always txt) says she always gets my msgs. As far as I know it just happens randomly...There doesn't seem to be any trends that I notice, it basically just makes up its own mind and chooses not to receive the txt.
I have the Network Profile app installed and it is set to the Rogers network; the carrier I am with. In Settings>cellular my network selection is set to automatic.....and currently i have no APN added.
I've read in the forums before that someone was having sms issues but they seemed to follow a pattern...So im not sure if my situation is the same. Regardless, I'm quite frustrated as I do love the phone....but its turning into a mini tablet because of this loss of functionality I'm experiencing.
Any suggestions?

My issue seems to be different from most.....whenever I reset my phone I never get the txts I missed. I ended up doing a factory reset....started off missing a few sms's but since then its been almost a week and I don't think iv missed one. I think I'm going to try that solution provided in another thread and see how that works.

[Q] Cannot receive some text messages after flashing CM 10.1.3

Not sure if I'm posting this is the right place, but I'm having slight issue, it's a bit annoying as well. I flashed Slim Bean on my N4 last week or so. After using it for couple days I noticed that I'm not receiving texts from a bunch of people. So I thought I messed up something while flashing my phone as it was my first time doing it even though everything worked fine and I could send texts. Yesterday, I flashed Cyanogen Mod 10.1.3 thinking that it will fix the issue especially since it's a stable version. But it hasn't.
I googled around a bit but couldn't really find anything. I sent messages from my mom's phone to my phone and I received them immediately, our phones are both on Rogers, one of my friends that I text quite often is also on Rogers and I get all his texts. It seems that I can't receive texts from other carriers. So I have no idea what's going on.
Anyone know what the issue might be or how to fix it? I think it's from flashing a custom ROM onto the phone since it worked before. I was going to call Rogers but I doubt they would help since it's not stock anymore, they'd just tell me it's my fault probably.

Make sure you entered the Roger's APN and save it.

Where do I enter the APN?

System settings/more/mobile networks/access point names

Settings -> More... -> Mobile settings -> Access Point Name
Roger's APN here:http://www.rogers.com/web/Rogers.po...6681+42&_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=support_results
After you're done entering it, make sure you press the menu button and save the APN and select it.

HELP. 6P not receiving texts/BLANK SMSC

To start, I'm on Android 7.0 using the September security patch and am rooted.
Never had an issue with this phone before. Ever since yesterday morning I have not been able to receive anyone's text messages. I'm not sure about MMS but I haven't gotten any of those either. The weird thing is that I can SEND texts just fine....and I can also send text messages to myself and they come through.
After digging and researching I accessed that hidden settings menu by typing *#*#4636#*#* into my dialer and looking at the SMSC number which should be for Tmobile, my provider, +12063130004. However, it's blank and I'm unable to change it. Hitting "update" gives me an "update error" in the field and if I hit refresh I get "+12063130004",145 with the quotes and the 145. If I hit update from there and reboot it's still blank. If I put in +12063130004 and reboot it's still blank.
I have data, I can make and receive calls and surf the web. So far I've tried switching sms apps to no avail. I'm currently using google messenger. I've tried removing the sim and placing it back in. I went in to TWRP wiped cache, dalvich cache and data and it did nothing. Finally I reverted to a nandroid I made about a month ago when sms was working fine and it's still not working.
I'm out of ideas fellas. At my wit's end here!
Oh, I should also let you know that I think this all started when my girlfriend sent me a text message that i received yesterday morning. It was the last text I was able to get......she's on a cruise so she sent it somewhere near mexico....I think it made my phone have a massive brain fart and I'm not sure how to fix this bug. Please help!!

No one? I've found nothing on the web..

This may sound obvious, but have you tried using a factory image to return to stock?
Sounds like you've done everything but that.
I suppose you could also try deleting your APN and manually entering a correct one for your carrier. That's helped me in the past on other devices when I've had weird data/service issues.

Funny you asked. I did a full wipe and returned to stock on the latest November build. Still a no go. People still get my texts and I can still use data/make and receive calls fine. I'll try the APN suggestion now.

As far as APN's go, I tried to reset them to default. I even tried deleting all of them except for the one I was using which in the past for other devices helped with certain issues. I then created a custom APN setting that I found on the 6p forum that helped other users with SMS/MMS issues....no help for me.
I can still send SMS,mms, make and receive phone calls. No idea what to do!!!

I have a similar but different issue. I can receive messages just fine. But sometimes when i send messages id say about 40% of the time my message gets stuck at the "sending" and it takes sometimes up to 10min for it to send. I can speed the process up if i go to the secret menu and toggle the radio off and on.
Im on ATT BTW. I thought it had something to do with ATT shutting down the 2G network and the phone getting confused as to which network to send messages on but im no expert its just a theroy.
PS. I had this problem pop out of nowhere. Had it start randomly on PN6 (last build) so i upgraded to PN7 same thing on 2 different versions of the ROM. And now im on SuperAx 7.1 and still have the issue.
Ive always had problems with Nexus's and messages. When i had the Nexus 5 i actually had to warranty it out because MMS all of a sudden would not work at all.

I received one text today from someone. That's it. Not getting all the missed sms messages and not getting any additional sms messages.
